Summary
Pregnancy places significant stress on the cardiovascular system by increasing blood volume, heart rate, and cardiac output to support the growing fetus. These changes force the heart to work harder, which can unmask or worsen underlying heart conditions. Hormonal shifts and changes in blood vessel function may also increase the risk of blood clots, high blood pressure, and complications such as preeclampsia. Women with preexisting conditions, older maternal age, obesity, or diabetes face higher risk. Although most pregnancies proceed safely, cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of maternal illness and death, especially when risk factors are not identified and managed early.
